After four seasons with the Italian Liquigas team, Briton Charlie Wegelius may be moving over to the Silence-Lotto squad. The 30-year-old could be a valuable mountain domestique for Cadel Evans in the Tour de France. Sportwereld.be reported that the rider received an offer from the Belgian squad, but has yet to sign.
"We want Wegelius very much, because he's a fantastic rider," said Silence-Lotto director Roberto Damiani. "He is someone who can ride well in the medium mountains, and on a good day can even handle the high mountains. In the last Tour, we have seen that Evans needs such men to help him in those stages."
